Are foundation repairs permanent?

• <div><p>Some foundation repairs are permanent, like underpinning and exterior drainage systems like the French drain. These fixes address the underlying problems—insufficient support from the soil and hydrostatic pressure on your foundation walls, respectively—so they can last for many decades, making them “lifetime fixes.” There are other solutions to address these issues that will last for up to a decade, making them temporary. These include slabjacking to raise concrete slabs back into place and dampproofing to reduce the water in the soil that interacts with the concrete foundation. </p></div>

How do I know if my foundation is slab-on-grade?

• <div><p>If you don’t have any access to or knowledge of any area underneath your home, chances are it’s built slab-on-grade. You can also look for the concrete around the bottom edge of your structure; if it’s just a few inches tall, it’s likely a slab. If it’s more than that, has any windows, or you have steps leading to your main entrance, you likely have a different foundation style.</p></div>

Q: How long does foundation sealant last?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll need to reseal the foundation <b>every five to 10 years, </b>depending on the sealant you&rsquo;ve used, the moisture conditions present in and around your home, and the condition of your foundation. Having a foundation inspection conducted before reapplication can help you catch any problems before you begin resealing. Of course, if you notice any new leaks or other moisture problems at any time, it may be necessary to reseal the foundation sooner.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if my foundation is slab-on-grade?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t have any access to or knowledge of any area underneath your home, chances are it&rsquo;s built slab-on-grade. You can also look for the concrete around the bottom edge of your structure; if it&rsquo;s just a few inches tall, it&rsquo;s likely a slab. If it&rsquo;s more than that, has any windows, or you have steps leading to your main entrance, you likely have a different foundation style.</p></div>

Q: Can you fix concrete cracks yourself?

• <div><p>Yes, you can fill cracks in concrete if you&rsquo;re a somewhat handy homeowner. It&rsquo;s important to know which concrete patching method to use, as small cracks require different approaches than large ones. It might seem challenging to determine which product to use and the tools necessary for the project, but with a bit of background, homeowners can restore their cracked concrete easily.</p></div>

Q: What are the most cost-effective foundation repairs?

• <div><p>The most cost-effective foundation repair is using <b>masonry patches and sealants</b> to seal foundation cracks and offer some support to prevent further damage. These methods are used to fix minor foundation cracks quickly. However, they&rsquo;re not suitable as a long-term solution, and they only offer minimal stability. On average, masonry patches and sealants cost <b>$500</b>, but a sealant like an epoxy crack injection can total <b>over $2,000</b>. If you&rsquo;re handy and only looking for a temporary solution until you contact a local foundation repair contractor for a more permanent one, you can save hundreds by DIYing this repair.</p></div>
